From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: I beleive the same problem occurs with kernel-source-2.4.18-27.8.0, aswell. Compiling my company's driver against the redhat kernel (as opposed to the kernel 2.4.18) caused a subtle behavour change in the driver. I have tracked the problem down to the kernel define "HZ" being set to '512' as opposed to being '100' as in the kernel.org kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-source-2.4.18-14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create minimal driver to prink out value of HZ 2. compile and load driver for stock redhat 8 kernel 3. compile and load driver for kernel.org 2.4.18 kernel 4. compare results Actual Results: the kernel define "HZ" being set to '512'.... Expected Results: ...as opposed to being '100' as in the kernel.org kernel. Additional info: I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional.
this is fully intentional; it helps interactive performance
